By John Ogunsemore

The Kano State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Mustapha Rabiu Kwankwaso, has resigned his appointment under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

The commissioner, who is the son of former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, made this known in Monday statement.

His resignation followed Governor Yusuf’s recent defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and fallout with his political mentor and NNPP National Leader, ex-Gov Kwankwaso.

The commissioner thanked the governor for giving him an opportunity to serve the good people of Kano.

He said, “It is with a heavy heart that I announce my resignation as Honorable Commissioner, Ministry of Youth and Sports Development and Member of the Kano State Executive Council.

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for the opportunity to serve the great people of Kano State. I have cherished the experiences and lessons gained while serving, and I appreciate the trust placed in me.

“As I resign, I pray that the youth of Kano State will continue to receive the attention and support they deserve. I hope for the best for our sports development programs and initiatives, and I am confident that they will flourish in the years to come.

“May Allah (SWT) continue to shower His blessings on our beloved Kano State. I wish the government and people of Kano State all the best.”
